Supernatural Powers

Of course, if it really involves the fundamental interests of the family, then we must take action.

Through his conversation with Lu Qingshan, Lu Yang had some guesses and doubts in his mind.

Since Qingcang Mountain was originally the territory of the Zixia Sect, is it possible that the ruins of the Zixia Sect are here, or that it is not the ruins of the Zixia Sect, but the ruins of other forces affected by the great calamity of the Southern Barbarians?

It's impossible for a golden carp carrying a legacy to appear in the Qingcang River out of nowhere.

Either the Qingcang Mountains hold the remnants of some powerful force, or the Qingcang River has swept this inheritance over. The clan could easily find the source by following the Qingcang River, which might be an opportunity that would allow the clan to rapidly increase its strength.

At this turbulent time, such an opportunity is extremely important for the clan.

However, Lu Changfeng's reaction was indeed somewhat strange.

A secret realm has appeared at Yangming Lake, which is not far from Qingcang Mountain. In Lu Yang's opinion, this site is very likely the site of the Zixia Sect.

Lu Changfeng, on the other hand, remained unmoved, showing no sign of excitement whatsoever. Lu Yang had made it so clear; how could a smart man like Lu Changfeng not understand?

That leaves only one possibility: the clan knows!

Heh, that makes sense. If even a mere Qi Refining cultivator like him knows this, how could the Lu family, who have occupied Qingcang Mountain for five hundred years, have not discovered anything?

Considering the rapid increase in the clan's strength over the years, and Lu Guchu's breakthrough to the Golden Core stage, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart.

Could it be that the clan has already found this site and seized the opportunity?

If that's the case, then everything makes sense. Thinking of this, Lu Yang breathed a sigh of relief. If it really is the ruins of the Zixia Sect, and the Lu family has such an opportunity, even if the Southern Barbarians really start another calamity, the Lu family's chances of surviving the calamity should be much greater.

At worst, they can just leave. The Lu family isn't like the Zixia Sect; they don't have that kind of scale. If they want to leave, it wouldn't be difficult for Lu Guchu, a Golden Core cultivator, to lead these hundreds of cultivators away.

With a sense of relief, Lu Yang stopped thinking about it.

He looked at Lu Changfeng and said, "Second Ancestor, how about giving me a second-tier spiritual vein?"

Ah!

Lu Changfeng raised an eyelid and looked at Lu Yang with a dangerous gaze. "Should I throw you into the Qingcang River to wake you up? You still want a second-tier spiritual vein? Why don't you just fly to the sky? Not to mention that the value is not equal, even if it were equal, the clan doesn't have a second-tier spiritual vein for you."

Besides, what would a Qi Refining cultivator like you need a second-tier spiritual vein for? The Qingcang Mountain spiritual vein is only second-tier; you really dare to dream of such a thing.”

Frustrated by the rejection, Lu Yang had no choice but to try and negotiate a lower price.

"What about that first-tier spiritual vein?"

"Didn't I give you a first-tier spiritual vein before? What, you're planning to build yourself a cave like this? Alright, I won't ask you any more questions. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a first-tier spiritual vein and this is an inheritance token. With this, you can directly enter the Scripture Pavilion to choose a second-tier inheritance. Remember, there's only one."

As Lu Yang left the mountaintop, he couldn't help but shake his head. This Second Ancestor was too stingy. For the Lu family now, there shouldn't be a shortage of first-order spiritual veins.

However, a second-tier talismanic inheritance not only gets you a different inheritance but also a first-tier spiritual vein, so it's a win-win situation no matter how you look at it.

Lu Yang put away the spirit vein bead in his hand and headed straight for the scripture pavilion.

The Lu family's library has six floors.

The first layer contains only miscellaneous books, Taoist texts, and travelogues, but no cultivation techniques.

Only from the second level onwards can one begin to cultivate magical techniques.

However, the second floor only stores first-tier spells and techniques; second-tier spells and techniques must be retrieved from the third floor.

As for what's stored on the fourth floor and above, Lu Yang didn't know, and no one else had mentioned it either; there must be some secrets involved.

Lu Yang didn't have time to investigate those things. After handing the inheritance token to the clan elder guarding the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion, he went straight inside.

This elder was also a senior member of the clan, similar to Lu Changhong, except that he chose to protect the clan's heritage.

Lu Yang couldn't discern his cultivation level, but he estimated it to be at least at the peak of Qi Refining.

Upon entering the second floor of the Sutra Repository, Lu Yang discovered that there were indeed quite a few inheritances within.

Danfa District!

Talisman Zone!

The Artifacts and Crafts Section!

Cultivation Techniques Section!

……

Good heavens, so many? Suddenly, Lu Yang felt that the Water Yin Talisman Scripture he had obtained was nothing special.

"If you didn't have this inheritance token, the clan wouldn't have shown you so many inheritances. This is a rare opportunity, so seize it."

Ah!

What does that mean?

The elder's voice came, which made Lu Yang wonder. So, the third floor of this Scripture Pavilion is a Yin-Yang level, and different people receive different treatment depending on who they come in.

Lu Yang's mind raced, and he immediately thought of something.

These inheritances, could they be the ones the clan discovered from that ruin? Yes, otherwise, how could the Lu family have accumulated so many inheritances?

Lu Yang remembered that when the Fang family was raided, the entire Fang family didn't have many second-tier inheritances.

His gaze fell on the Lingnong District, and Lu Yang strode over there.

Don't bite off more than you can chew. Lu Yang doesn't have that much luck right now to learn all the arts of cultivation. Spiritual plants are the foundation for acquiring luck and are indispensable.

I'll cultivate talisman techniques and earn some spirit stones. As for other things, I'll pursue them later when my cultivation level rises and my fortune improves.

Anyway, the tradition is right here, and it can't be moved.

There weren't many second-tier inheritances in the Spirit Farming District, only a few. Lu Yang immediately set his sights on "Advanced Spirit Plant Techniques".

In contrast to the basic spirit plant technique, the advanced spirit plant technique is an advanced version of the basic spirit plant technique.

Although Lingzhi Fu is very popular among cultivators, he is ultimately only popular among poor cultivators.

Those willing to become spirit plant growers are mainly low-level cultivators who have just started cultivating, because spirit plant growers require little investment and can be self-sufficient, consuming spirit grains.

This is the best practice technique for transitioning between different stages of life.

However, once cultivators have achieved a certain level of cultivation and become wealthy, they will not hesitate to abandon it, because once their cultivation level is high, the spiritual plant can no longer support their cultivation.

The value of the spirit grain is still too low, and the harvest time is still long. The effort and the reward are not proportional at all.

So once they had amassed wealth, cultivators began to study alchemy, weapon crafting, and array formation. Even the least ambitious among them had to learn to draw talismans, since these were the cultivation techniques that could sustain a cultivator's practice.

Even if they lack these talents and end up achieving nothing, they will still choose to hunt demons.

Even those with only five spiritual roots possess a desire to become stronger, and they will fight to the death for longevity—that is the allure of cultivation.

Therefore, although there are the most spiritual plant practitioners in the cultivation world, the development of spiritual plant techniques is the most difficult.

For an ordinary spirit plant grower, a basic spirit plant technique is enough. After all, even when growing second-tier spirit grains, a basic spirit plant technique can handle it, at most it will just result in insufficient yield.

It won't have too much of an impact.

Of course, there are also those spiritual cultivators who are happy to cultivate spiritual fields for their entire lives; although they are few, they really exist.

Advanced spiritual plant techniques were developed by these spiritual plant masters.

Don't underestimate the Advanced Spirit Plant Technique, and don't think it's just a technique for planting spirit grains.

The academy teacher once said that after mastering the advanced spiritual plant technique, it would be enough to increase the production of second-tier spiritual grains. When it came to this, Lu Yang and the others didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, a second-tier spirit valley is still a spirit valley. Among second-tier spirit valleys, it is the least valuable. Only cultivators who cannot afford pills would use such things.

But the teacher's next words shocked Lu Yang and the others.

"After mastering the advanced spirit plant technique, that is the seed of supernatural power."
